Breathtaking views of the horizon, sunrise and sunsets, invigorating fresh air, and the stunning sights and sounds of the Atlantic Ocean surf embrace your every moment at this magnificent 6000 square foot architecturally designed and custom appointed Nantucket “upside down” home perched on six private landscaped acres with private beach access overlooking Tom Nevers Head on the south side of the island – just 7 minutes from the center of town or the airport!

Upon entering through one of the six ground floor entrances of this handsome home, you’ll find a central hallway connecting six beautifully appointed bedrooms with custom window treatments, three full custom tiled bathrooms, a private laundry room, and an outside lower deck with travertine tiled table and seating for 12. Three of the bedrooms are oceanfront, four of the bedrooms have private glass slider entrances, and all bedrooms have views of the ocean and feature custom bedding and designer furnishings. The master bedroom suite offers two levels. The upper bedroom area features a working fireplace, wall-mounted plasma TV with DVD, ‘body rhythms’ mattress and down bedding with king-sized oak and Lenox bedroom furnishings. The lower level features a private seating area with queen sleeper sofa, two private glass slider oceanfront entrances, and Italian marble flooring which flows into the over-sized, private en suite custom designed, marble-tiled master bathroom featuring his n’ her vanity with over-sized glass enclosed walk-in shower.

The wool carpeted stairway to the cedar-paneled cathedral ceilings of the second floor boasts handsome brass ship’s anvils flanking the left rail leading to the huge front-to-back, Italian-tiled floor of the fully equipped gourmet kitchen with Thermador, Sub-zero, and Wolf appliances and custom bay windowed dining area with artisan cherry seating for twelve at the handmade, one-piece fifteen foot oak table. Step into the adjoining open living room with cherry rockers, custom upholstered furnishings, working fireplace, and wall-mounted plasma TV with DVD then open the French doors and enter the gorgeous separate Great Room Den featuring a fully equipped bar with artisan cherry bar stools, custom upholstered furnishings and appointments, a writing desk (wireless internet n/c), bookcases, working fireplace with 60” plasma Pioneer TV mounted over the fireplace mantel with Bose surround sound, ipod docking station, and onkyo receiver and turntable, plus a full guest bathroom with Jacuzzi tub waiting to entertain and delight your family, friends, and guests! Step outside onto the wrap-around cedar deck - with outdoor gas grill and Brazilian cherry seating for 24 - from any one of the four glass sliders and be entranced by the amazing one-of-a-kind vista which fills your every glance day or night! Watch deer run on the beach at dusk, seals come to call on their morning swim, and whales spouting by in their season…

The grounds of this sanctuary await your barefoot trek with manicured lawns, gorgeous flowering hydrangea, rose, lily and perennial gardens dotting the landscape and bordering the entire property. Teak furniture on the lawn invites you to sit and relax, or take an outside shower and find your way to the soft sandy beach for your heart’s delight on the private walkway and companion bench seating called “Walter’s Bench". Father and son, Robert Elliott I, and II, the property owner and his son, designed and built this stairway and bench-landing to the beach which they named "Walter's Bench" as a tribute to their late father and grandfather who so dearly loved Nantucket. Fittingly, this beautiful oceanfront property is known as "Whales Watch I" and is perfect for a family vacation, reunion, retreat, wedding, anniversary, or any kind of special gatherings!
